@NpHighTeK An general engineering student applies to an engineering major in the spring of their freshman year at the end of their second semester. Students must apply to three majors (meaning, if you don’t get your first choice, an applicant will be considered for their second choice, and so forth down the list.) with the option to select up to five majors. Majors must be ranked in order of preference. Students are strongly encouraged to apply during their first opportunity.

If your GPA isn’t high enough for a major, you won’t get in that major and they will go down your list of preferences. When decisions are released, you know what major you were accepted into. As the link Leee666 provided, it does tell you to seek advice and where to do that.

So, for the class of 2019, whose First Semester at Texas A&M University - Fall 2015
Spring 2016 - First Opportunity for applications opened April 7, 2016, closed May 4, 2016 and decisions were released July 21, 2016. There is more about it here. https://engineering.tamu.edu/28784.aspx

From the link @lee6666 provided, you can see that the class of 2018 (current Juniors) that 97% of engineering students are in the major of their choice. It does not say if that was their first choice or third choice from their application. However, current sophomores, on;y 90% are in the major of their choice.

The application process contains more information. https://engineering.tamu.edu/academics/advisors-procedures/entry-to-a-major/application I would encourage you to explore all of the links. Read the recommendations link. Read the engineering academy and Galveston links in case that is what you are offered instead of College Station campus.
